That’ is 100% not going to happen unless AV updates the new fare classes to all partners before you fly. I am not laughing at you or your situation, but it made me laugh to think that anyone could “insist” that LH do anything. Why don’t you see how much it would be to upfare your ticket from F to D? That would be the only way to guarantee that you will earn your miles. The good thing is that all AV business class fares are flexible/refundable, even the cheap ones, so you should be able to cancel and rebook without any penalty.

I just booked last week a ticket for October on AV going BCN-BOG-LPB-BOG-JFK and it was only about 200€ more to book it in D instead of F, so that is exactly what I did. At 150% it comes out to over 16000 status miles on TK which I need to requalify. So it is worth the extra 200€ for me in this instance to earn 16000 miles as opposed to earning 0 miles.
